New hydrogen gas facility connected to the Swedegas network drives up production of renewable fuels

With a new hydrogen gas facility in Gothenburg – officially opened yesterday by Minister for Energy and Digital Development Anders Ygeman – Preem is set to increase its production of renewable fuels. This has been made possible by connecting the facility to the Swedegas network. “Supporting the transition in the transport sector to renewable fuels is one of our most important tasks,” said Johan Zettergren, Swedegas Chief Executive.By investing in and developing a flexible gas infrastructure, Swedegas has the capability and ambition to support the switch taking place throughout the

New agreement between Swedegas and FordonsGas – Liquefied biogas brings further climate benefits to Gothenburg shipping

Bunkering liquefied biogas, LBG, at the Port of Gothenburg has become significantly easier for the shipping sector. A new agreement between FordonsGas and Swedegas will ensure access to this renewable fuel, a move that has been sought by both shipping companies and their customers.Shipping needs to make the transition from oil to environmentally smart alternatives. Liquefied natural gas, LNG, is currently the cleanest marine fuel available due to lower emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur oxide, nitric oxide, and particulates. With renewable liquefied biogas, LBG, climate benefits will

Joint gas market in Sweden and Denmark from April 1

An expanded market and even greater security of supply will become a reality on April 1 when the Swedish and Danish Transmission System Operators Swedegas and Energinet integrate the gas markets. “By merging the gas markets, efficiency can be enhanced, and end customers will have more suppliers to choose between,” said Johan Zettergren, Swedegas chief executive.Swedegas and Energinet are gas transmission network operators with system balancing responsibility in their respective countries, Sweden and Denmark. The two companies ensure a balance is maintained between supply and offtake, and

Gas industry preparing for a higher proportion of renewable energy

A growing volume of biogas will be fed into the Swedish gas network, entirely in line with the current trend towards increasing the volume of renewable energy. To keep pace with this development, the industry is investing in methods to cope with variations in gas quality.To date, almost all natural gas in the Swedish system comes from the Danish gas fields in the North Sea and the quality of the gas has remained consistent. The calorific value - the amount of energy released during combustion - has been stable. Johan Zettergren, Chief Executive at Swedegas, said: “Swedegas and many other

Green Gas Initiative report: how gas and gas infrastructure can help curbing carbon and other harmful emissions

The Green Gas Initiative has launched its first report on how gas and gas infrastructure can help to achieve the European objectives for reducing carbon and other harmful emissions. The report focuses on three main topics: biomethane, power to gas and gas as a fuel in road and maritime transport.The Green Gas Initiative joins seven independent gas infrastructure companies who committed themselves to achieve a 100% carbon-neutral gas supply in their transport infrastructure by 2050. The first Green Gas Initiative report was launched by the CEOs of the member companies at their annual meeting

Time to build a Power to Gas pilot plant in Sweden - will increase the proportion of renewables, reduce emissions and pave the way for more wind power

The results from a unique study on the potential to use Power to Gas in Sweden are due to be presented today. The conditions differ from one part of the country to another although it is clear that Power to Gas can make use of surplus wind power in a variety of ways: production of hydrogen gas, storage of the surplus in the gas grid and/or expansion of biogas production.Gotland, Falkenberg and Piteå have been examined as part of the study and all the sites have what is required to be considered as a potential site for the country's first Power to Gas pilot plant. What is required now is

Swedegas to be acquired by Enagás and Fluxys

Swedegas, the owner and operator of the Swedish gas transmission grid, has been sold by EQT Infrastructure. New owners are the Spanish and Belgian gas transmission companies Enagás and Fluxys, who have made a joint acquisition of Swedegas on a 50-50% basis."With Enagás and Fluxys, Swedegas will have new, strategic owners with similar core operations as ours. They have extensive knowledge of the European gas market and they share our ambition to invest in smart, sustainable energy solutions", said Lars Gustafsson, CEO of Swedegas. The acquisition is described by the consortium as

Swedegas becomes a partner in the newly formed Swedish Energy Research Centre

The energy industry has established a completely new centre to consolidate research. Energiforsk – the Swedish Energy Research Centre – will bring together research currently being conducted at Elforsk, the Thermal Engineering Research Association and the Swedish Gas Technology Centre (SGC) and in the Fjärrsyn research programme run by the Swedish District Heating Association.The companies behind Energiforsk are Svensk Energi, the Swedish District Heating Association, the Swedish National Grid, the Swedish Gas Association and Swedegas. Lars Gustafsson, Swedegas Chief Executive, said: "If

Vopak, Swedegas and Port of Gothenburg turn their attention to the market: Chance to play a part in the planning of the LNG Terminal in Gothenburg

Planning of the new terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the Port of Gothenburg is in full flow. During the summer, Vopak and Swedegas signed an agreement, which now also has been signed by the Port of Gothenburg. The three parties are now turning their attention to the market to investigate the level of interest in liquefied natural gas.Stricter sulphur emission stipulations mean that ships operating in Swedish waters must switch to a more eco-friendly fuel by 2015 at the latest. Likewise, an increasing number of Swedish companies are looking to switch from oil and coal to cleaner

Swedegas and Vopak investigate open access LNG terminal in Gothenburg, Sweden

A terminal for liquefied natural gas, LNG, could be completed in Gothenburg, the largest port in Nordic region, as early as 2015. This is the aim behind today's signing of a letter of intent, stating that Gothenburg-based Swedegas and the Dutch company Royal Vopak are exploring the possibility to enter into a joint venture and invest in the terminal. The terminal can store LNG to supply both shipping and industry and will be open to all parties interested in supplying the Swedish market. This will enable major environmental benefits with the switch from heavy fuel oil to gas.The
